Workflow bugs may be seen by the developers, but I've seen a lot of devs
just ignore these and let the workflow run, especially on universe packages.

These bugs are usually relatively-quickly intercepted during the
development cycle for packages in main, and are handled, from what I've
seen.  For Universe, they happen whenever it's gotten to, last I checked.

Workflow bugs aren't governed by our bug triage policy.  If developers here
on packages in Ubuntu (and incidentally Launchpad) are unaware of what
workflow bugs are, they should read the section of the documentation on
special workflow bugs.

In the "How to Triage" guide [1], even, there's a section labeled "Special
Types of Bugs" [2], which says that unless you know what you're doing, you
shouldn't touch those bugs.  Status included.

I think that still applies here, if developers of a given package are
unaware of this, then we can easily make a note that this is a workflow
process bug, not necessarily something they *need* to immediately look at,
especially since not all upstreams actually do much with the workflow
process here.


That's my opinion on this.  Let's move on to actually fixing bugs, not
dealing with how we set the importance on special bugs, of which our bug
triage rules don't really apply in the same way (if at all, case in point
merge requests, sync requests, security bugs (which have slightly different
policies), etc.).
